However, you also might want to read this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian It is not a good idea to be using ubunto ppa's like the instructions say on the link you posted. As far as installing Debian packages goes, there is plenty of documentation on that: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackageManagement If you really need this program, and the source code is available, you can follow the instructions here: https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA But it still something, personally I would not recommend. -- ¿Cómo no romper Debian :(Don'tBreakDebian) https://wiki.debian.org/es/DontBreakDebian
